Things like viewing a web page are still the same as before, full screen is just more often the default than a F11 option and they specifically mention scrolling performance as one the improvements.

So they’re mainly optimizing performance through how it works and not just by what they removed.

Things like hardware acceleration is being leveraged for example. So the CPU is freed up to do other things. Along with making things more efficient by reducing memory requirements, etc.
